Twitter reacts to Starfield being an Xbox exclusive
Naturally, the console war has also created a massive divide within the gaming community. There are fans who are ardent supporters of Xbox products while the other side sees value in Sony’s PlayStation devices and games. This has created a massive rift, where the two studios have been butting heads with each other in a form of exclusive titles, while the fans bicker over the same on Twitter.
The studio is aiming for a November release in 2022, which will roughly ask us to wait for 15 months.

Fans might have to work double shifts to afford both top-rated consoles of the modern era. Each one is going to come with its own gauntlet of exclusives, which will never crossover.

Certain sections of the PlayStation fanbase feel robbed, as the Xbox’s latest acquisition has closed all doors for Sony.
Bethesda was one of the biggest reasons I was a @PlayStation faithful. I'm sad I won't get to play #Starfield on the playstation, but @Xbox buying Bethesda don't NOT make me want to but their console! I hope im not that only one that feels that way. #robbed
